PranaBeing blog: Start Where You Are

This moment is the only moment of life we have to live. Our past exists as memory in the present moment. It doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Our future exists as imagination in the present moment. It is made of probability and potential.

Here, now, is where the body lives and breathes.

Here, now, is where action happens. Where we choose. What we choose in this moment creates the ground from which the next moment will arise.

Lest this type of reflection send you in paroxysms of anxiety and self-judgment (“Here? NOW? Oh God, what if I f*ck this up??”) , I invite you now to take a deep breath…and exhale. Go ahead. No one will even notice (except you; and since you happen to be the center of the known universe, it matters).

Your mental-emotional palate thus cleansed, consider that because this now moment IS the moment of life, here is precisely the place where you can effect change.

Life is the original “come as you are” party. You’re here! Congratulations. Now recognize there is nothing between you and moving toward what you want to experience in your life.

What is one step you can take toward what you deeply want for yourself? Do it now.

Start where you are.
